So refreshing, rehydrating, smooth, not greasy
You know that feeling of drinking a big glass of water when you are really thirsty? How satisfying that feels? That is how my face feels after I put on this moisturizer. Everything you want your moisturizer to be, this is it. It's light but creamy enough to feel like you are actually moisturizing your face. It's not greasy...it's very silky and smooth. It's the best moisturizer I have found. Also...I never write reviews, but this stuff is so incredible I had to come and share.

Simply the best moisturizer I've ever used
Prior to using Purely Nourishing Moisturizer, I was using Philosophy's Hope In A Jar or CeraVe moisturizing cream due to my sensitive skin. And with Philosophy it made my skin so oily I could only use in winter, which still caused breakouts. And with CeraVe I just wasn't happy with the way it felt on my face after applying. I simply can't say enough about how great this BE moisturizer is. You only need a little, it goes a long way and never breaks me out, yet it moisturizes like a dream.
I do have to say that the smell is a bit earthy, but reminds me of Aveda products - which I like. So I really like the smell of the product and find it soothing.

Moisturizes without feeling oily
This makes skin feel soft and not oily at all. If you add the recommended amount, you can't go wrong.

Nourishing
I love the moisturizer. I have been using it for several years now after I use the purifying facial cleanser. Other moisturizers I have used have left my skin feeling oily and to the point I want to wash my face again. This moisturizer is perfect. I get really dry skin in the winter time especially around my nose and this moisturizer works well for it. It's great year round, because I need the moisture in the summer too. I definitely recommend this!

Essential
I have been using this product for over a year and I refuse to switch products. My skin is always dewy, well hydrated and soft as a baby's bum.
This is a must use product if want to maintain a youthful glow

Bad news
The first bottle I used of this, was fine and showed results. Second round, I broke out every time I used it. Not sure if they changed something or it took me that long to have a reaction to something in it. Returned it.

Skin changer
I got this in a mini kit with the cleanser and skin renewing serum. All three part of the kit were so amazing that I purchased each of them in a full size. This moisturizer is the best I have ever used and works so well with the rest of the skin care line, a very small pearl sized amount is all you need. This doesn't feel heavy on your skin and won't cause breakouts which over moisturizing can do. Never had a moisturizer that I could use before make up or primer and this one works really well for that. Will not disappoint!

Sad to see so many allergens in your new products
Hate finding soy in so many of the new products - it is as bad an allergen as peanuts. The more new items you are adding, the fewer of your things I can use. Guess it will be back to Clinique for anything other than your loose mineral makeup.

Super hydrating
Loveing this moisturizer, isn't greasy at all and hydrates my skin for the whole day. A little dab of the product is all that's needed.
